A scheme of such usev is shown in Fig. 1, in which the indicator-stations are employed for a pro ressive series of numbers indicating di erent sizes of snapbuttons used as garmentfasteners, and the upper panels 11 and the spaces between them are employed to receive nainesv of diderent varieties of cloth for Whichthe snapbuttons are suitable respectively.

The pointer panel 15 has the words For thisv fabric, indicating` thereby whatever fabric the point 19 may at the time denote, and the lower pointer panel 16 has the words Use this size, which indicates whatever isize in the series of snap- 'buttons corresponds to the particular indicator-station at which the point 2O is located. By swinging the pointer by hand,

applied to the panel 15 or 16, the upper point 19 can be brought opposite the particular kind of goods used, and the lower oint 20 is thereby correspondingly swungI into position opposite that indicator-station showing the proper size of snap-fastener to be used for those goods. The device thereby constitutes an indicator useful in connection with themanufacture of clothing, and in the Sale of the snap-asteners- @ne embodiment of the invention is shown and described, but itis obvious that changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention.
